RC, now you're talking ready. I've been losing inches and gaining strength myself. I was developing a serious case of the D.Ds as you put it, lol, and now that I'm working on it a little, I'm really starting to feel better. My back doesn't ache near as much either. What got me interested in losing the belly and some weight with it was when I was watching TV and some of the hunters from back east stumbling around the woods and breathing hard when they climbed up into their treestand. They were looking and sounding a lot like me and it scared the heck outta me, lol. Still not where I want to be, but am in a much better possition than I was a couple months ago.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
